Pursuing a Master’s degree at SGIA not only provided me with a solid foundation for continued growth and success in my career, but also served as a catalyst, creating a strong sense of momentum and motivation to pursue new opportunities with enthusiasm. Not to mention, living in Durham has been a dream; the city is absolutely beautiful.
